Why Canada?

Postage Stamp

Welcome to the Canada travel guides hub of Treks and Trails — a collection of outdoor-focused itineraries, destination tips, and hiking suggestions for exploring this vast and beautiful country. From the soaring peaks of the Rockies to charming seaside towns in the Maritimes, Canada is a land of breathtaking nature, diverse cultures, and endless adventure. I may be biased, but I truly believe Canada has something for everyone and will become one of your top places to visit. Below you’ll find my favorite places, hikes, and hidden gems across the country.

When to Visit Canada

Canada is a year-round destination, with each season offering something unique. Summer (June to September) is perfect for hiking, camping, and exploring national parks, while winter (December to March) brings incredible skiing, snowboarding, and cozy lodge vibes. Fall offers stunning foliage across the country, especially in places like Quebec and Ontario, and spring is a quieter time to experience the cities and coastlines before peak season hits.

British Columbia

British Columbia is truly one of the most remarkable places in Canada. In Whistler, you can snowboard down world-class slopes with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean — a combination that’s hard to beat. It’s got everything—from epic hikes in Revelstoke to city life in Vancouver to wine country in Kelowna. Check out some of my favorite spots below!

Alberta

Alberta’s got a little bit of everything. You’ve got the iconic Banff and Lake Louise up in the Rockies, and if you head south, you’ll pass golden canola fields all the way to Waterton National Park. From jagged peaks to rolling fields, it’s a place that knows how to impress!

Ontario

Home to the iconic Niagara Falls and Canada’s largest city, Toronto, Ontario offers a mix of natural wonders and urban adventure. Catch a Blue Jays or Raptors game, stroll through vibrant neighborhoods, or escape to the wilderness in places like Algonquin Park.

Quebec

Step into Old World charm with cobblestone streets, French-inspired cuisine, and rich history in Quebec City and Montreal. Quebec combines culture, festivals, and dramatic landscapes—from the Laurentians to the Gaspé Peninsula.

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is made for road trips. Cruise along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island with ocean views and winding cliffside roads that feel straight out of a postcard. Add in charming seaside towns, fresh seafood, and lighthouses around every bend—it’s the kind of place that feels like it was made to slow down and soak it all in.

Prince Edward Island

PEI may be Canada’s smallest province, but it packs in a ton of charm. Picture red sand beaches, rolling green hills, and coastal drives that make you want to pull over every five minutes. Fans of Anne of Green Gables will love wandering through the landscapes that inspired the story, while everyone else will just fall in love with the island’s easygoing pace and storybook vibes.
